    Britain has invented a new ideology - what can we call it?

    It used to be there was:

    Capitalism
    Private sector employers employed workers who they paid as little as possible. It kind of worked though because at least people had some money

    Socialism
    The state taxed the rich to distribute to the less well of. Kind of worked as no one starved.


    Now we have a new ism
    The state taxes the poor to give to the rich. What do we call this?
    Hard Brexit now!

        That is the normal mode of human civilisation from time immemorial.

              FTFY.
              How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
